Subject: [PATCH 6/7] perf: Fix default aux_watermark calculation

The default aux_watermark is half the AUX area buffer size. In general,
on a 64-bit architecture, the AUX area buffer size could be a bigger than
fits in a 32-bit type, but the calculation does not allow for that
possibility.

However the aux_watermark value is recorded in a u32, so should not be
more than U32_MAX either.

Fix by doing the calculation in a correctly sized type, and limiting the
result to U32_MAX.

Fixes: d68e6799a5c8 ("perf: Cap allocation order at aux_watermark")
